One iFolder client won't properly sync

We have an OES 2 SP2 with iFolder 3.8 installed.
We have about a dozen users, so far no one else has this issue. I was at a client and got a new laptop to use onsite, installed iFolder 3.8 client from the server (Same as on my other laptop, files are all dated Oct1, 2009)
But after correctly connecting, downloading the iFolder for the client, now, on a reboot or a restart of the iFolder client I see just the currently downloaded one, not the available iFolders (Yes, the View Available is ticked) and get told incomplete sync, and server unavailable.
Disconnect/connect does not error. I tried using a VPN tunnel via another client to see if it was their network, but seems not to be related.
And it worked for a while, then stopped, so I doubt it is the local firewall. (Windows FW is off, Symantec is installed, but I do not have rights to see its settings).
However, I can get to the http://server/iFolder and /admin interfaces via a web browser, and via HTTPS. So I am doubtful of firewall issues.
I set logging on the client to DEBUG and see this in the simias.log

Any ideas? I tried the .NET 3.5 and 3.5SP1 plus post patches, and it worked once, and then stopped again.
Very odd.

  • Firefox Mobile won't properly Sync with Firefox on Desktop.

    I recently setup Firefox on my Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.2 and paired it with my desktop computer.
    Strangely, it never really syncs all information. I never got it to sync userlogins/passwords and only sometimes syncing the history and bookmarks. Most of the time, it just doesn't pair anything at all. I reset my sync account countless times, removed it on both my desktop and smartphone and readded it with no change to its behavior. I also cleared and/or reinstalled it on my phone, but that didn't change anything either. It is anything but reliable.
    I also tested Firefox Beta for Android, but it didn't differ from the stable application.
    I am also running a portable version of Firefox on a USB Stick and that version syncs just fine with my desktop.
    Is this a common problem and a known bug or is it just me running into this issue?

    We are experiencing a server overload with sync. Our techies are hard at work fixing this issue around the clock. Please continue trying to sync.
    Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience.

  • I received an ipod touch 5th gen for Christmas.  The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my touch have created ghost songs.  They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play.  I can't delete them

    The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my new touch have created ghost songs.  They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play.  I can't delete them.  I've tried unticking all the music that was on the ipod via itunes and re-syncing, which in theory should delete all music from my ipod.  It does except for the 5 ghost songs.   So at present I have no music on ipod except the 5 ghost songs.   Has anyone got any ideas how I can get rid of these?

  • CalDav seems to only properly sync first one configured

    Hi,
    I've just configured a couple of CalDav calendars on my iPhone (syncing with Google) so that I can free up the Exchange connection for work.
    I all looked fine, but it seems that only the first configured (or enabled) service is the only one that is properly syncing, i.e. if you change a calendar on google, then exit and restart calendar on the iphone the update is properly reflected. For all additional configured calendars it will only properly update when you change something on the phone end!
    I've tried this with several different accounts and calendars and it's consistent ... so basically only one calendar will have proper 2-way syncing at a time. You can control which one by disabling all the others (so it's the only one enabled), then enable the others.
    Not ideal ... must be a bug, surely?
    Lee.

    Open application iSync, go to "preference" on the top menu, then click "reset" syncing history. After done first reset, click reset again, this problem should be cleared.
    For windows users, go to itunes preference to reset.

  • Recently got a new iPod 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod - any suggestions?

    Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac.  I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
    I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network.  While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs. 
    There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
    The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
    Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline?  Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

  • Ifolder client encounted an error while connecting to server

    Windows 7 64 bit client give me an error when i try to connect to my i folder system. An error was encountered while connecting to ifolder server. please verify the information entered and try again if the problem persists, please contact your network administrator.

    I have tried both the fqdn and the ip to connect to the server
    I have tried both ssl and nonssl in my settings.
    I have tried running as administrator
    I have tried reinstalling the client several times
    I have rebooted the server.
    I enabled debug mode on the server interface and i see no connection errors in there.
    The questions i have is where is the log file for the windows client?
    Is there an easy fix for this issue?
    Why does my web interface and linux client work and not my windows 7 one?

  • IPod Classic will not properly sync

    Hey everybody. I'm really hoping that somebody could help me out with this, as I am getting rather frustrated with it.
    My iPod Classic 120GB will not properly sync with iTunes on Windows 7. When I plug my iPod into my computer, I get the typical "Scan & Fix" message from Windows, and I generally just close the window without selecting an option (to Scan & Fix or Ignore), as neither option has ever seemed to change anything.
    I used to have over 100GB of music on my iPod, collected from various sources over the past 5 years or so, but a few months ago I plugged my iPod in to add new music to it, and iTunes did not recognize any of the files on my iPod. When I ejected it, there was no music on my iPod, but it still had 100GB of space filled. I decided to just bite the bullet and reformat my iPod, even though I would be losing most of my music, in hopes that I could make it work correctly.
    However, after I reformatted it, I have continued to have problems. I have reformatted using both iTunes and the Windows reformatting tool. Every time I plug my iPod in to add new music, the same things happen. I'm not automatically syncing iTunes to my iPod, because I like to be able to manage my music manually. I can add some music to it, but certain files will not copy and then nothing alphabetically after those files will copy either. I eject my iPod and use it normally throughout the day, but then when I plug it back into my computer again to try to add the rest of my music, iTunes says that my iPod has no music on it (even though space is being used). When this happens, I just restore the iPod and try again, and this is getting extremely aggravating.
    My music is all in MP3 format, and I am not trying to add movies, pictures, or any other files to my iPod (other than cover art). I have run anti-virus checks and stuff on all of my music files, and everything has come up clean. Should I try converting all of my music to AAC, or will this just take forever and not actually fix anything? I have already tried downgrading to an older version of iTunes, and I have still been having the same issues. I don't know what else I could do, and I really don't have the money to buy a new iPod.
    Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

    There may be some hardware fault on the iPod's hard drive, which is causing this problem.  Your use of manual loading may be agravating the problem, because you are making the iPod apply many small incremental disk access updates.  If you used automatic syncing, iTunes makes all changes at once, with one disk access, then dismounts the iPod's disk and spins down until the next sync, when it again makes all updates at once.
    I understand why you want to use the manual method, but here's a way to "replicate" what you do manually using automatic syncing.
    Create a new playlist in iTunes.  Load this playlist with ALL the songs you want on the iPod. 
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.  On the Music tab, set it to Sync music using Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, keep it simple by checkmarking ONLY that new playlist with the songs you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, the songs on that playlist sync to the iPod.
    Going forward, to update the iPod's songs, just update that playlist (add and remove songs).  Basically, instead of manually updating the iPod, you are manually updating the playlist.  It's the same work, but with several key advantages:
    - The iPod does not need to be connected to make updates, increasing flexibility and reducing wear-and-tear on iPod.  Just connect the iPod once after you are done making all changes to the playlist.
    - Updates to a playlist are instantaneous.  Updates made directly to an iPod (especially one with a hard drive that may need to spin up) takes a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on data size.  You're just waiting.
    - Many small updates to the iPod's hard drive is more wear-and-tear, compared to iTunes applying all of your changes with one consolidated disk access.
    - iTunes keeps the iPod's "disk" NOT mounted, except when syncing.  This reduces wear-and-tear, and the chance of data corruption occuring.  The manual method requires the iPod's disk to be mounted at all times (until ejected).
    - Because the iPod's disk is not mounted most of the time, you don't need to eject before disconnecting.
    - You have a backup of all of your iPod songs on the computer's hard drive.
    - If you do a Restore, or if you get a new iPod, all you do is go to the Music tab and select that one playlist again, and click Apply.  Everything back to the way it was before, with a few mouse clicks (and 20-30 minutes or so of syncing).
    If you want multiple playlists on the iPod, just create those playlists in the iTunes library.  Name them so that they all appear grouped together in the iTunes sidebar.  Checkmark those playlists on the Music tab.  Do your "song maintenance" in iTunes using those playlists, and let iTunes automatically sync all changes at once the next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button).
    Try setting it up to use automatic syncing, to see if there is any improvement.

  • Downloaded new ios7 and new itunes 11.1 and now iphone 4 won't finish syncing - just stays on last step and never finishes or cancels on its own. Tried reinstalling itunes with no success.

    Downloaded new ios7 and new itunes 11.1 and now iphone 4 won't finish syncing - just stays on last step and never finishes or cancels on its own. Tried reinstalling itunes with no success.

    I have the same problem.. latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) and latest version of ios (7.1) but it gets stuck at "waiting for changes to be applied" and I can't cancel the sync manually. It doesn't cancel on it's own either (at least not the 8 hours over night that it was syncing) and if I unmount the phone then the phone keeps the sync going (the little spinning arrows in the upper left corner) and doesn't recognize that it's been disconnected..
    I've tried restoring the phone (with little success, managed to get one more song on there) and syncing over wi-fi but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts, anyone?

    The right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
    In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu.
